Thanks for the video! I was having "Shug" withdrawal!
Y'elcome. Needed a break from myself! Lots of chores too.
Thank you Shug. You always timely videos. No matter if it is 4 years old.
OMG! I've been sitting at my computer desk all afternoon and enjoying a "Shugfest"...you are one funny, no, make that hilarious dude! I also enjoyed your mandolin playing. Your skills and hilarity are so appreciated. Thank you, sir!
Whoooooo Buddy and thanks.
In Duluth and the rain won't stop. Doing a trip this weekend and Boy did this vid help me load my pack. Thanks shug!!
Gonna be soggy boots for sure.
Another GREAT video from the Shugster!! Thanks for all you do for us Shug fans!! Hope you have a great trip! How is the Carolina Backpacker? Hope his recovery is going well.
He is recovering but that knee is taking time.
Super helpful and very timely..Just got an overnight pack at Trail Days (the BF sported his Shug shirt.. Represent!) We've done a lot of day hiking and TH-cam watching over the past couple of years, now it's time to load up and get out there! You're always so encouraging and inspiring. Thanks Shug!
Thankee to the BF for the support. Enjoy the trip and take note of what you do right and what you do wrong and go from there. Parts will be grueling!
I just watched a 23.5 minute video on loading a backpack. And enjoyed all of it. Thanks shug.
Well...some phylosiphy had to be included as well as showing how to load. Thankee.
i just got done loading my pack as you posted this. must be a sign. heading to the BWCA for the first time in july. thanks for all of the great tips and videos. I do have to say that watching these videos only makes me want to get out there even quicker
You will love it.
Nice 5 ring juggling shug! That pack shure does hold a lot of stuff👍
It does hold a fair deal of kit.
Great timing, heading to do the coastal trail on the Ontario side of Superior soon.
I see a lot of similarities in gear and packing, although I am a proud ground dweller ;)
A couple questions, if you dont mind, and apologies if I missed it, what do you treat water with, and
Have you had rodent issues with your ursack?
Thanks buddy!
Hey Joe. I use a gravity filter system. the old ULA amigo pro. No longer available. Never had a rodent get in my Ursack but you have to tie it as they suggest. Rodent Discipline!
thanks, Shug.
Have fun on your trip!
Gonna get a short trip then a wedding to attend (can't get out of it) then hopefully a longer trip. Also 33 Anniversary in the middle. Been a busy year timing -wise to get out proper.
InstaBlaster
Been thinking of Slug a lot lately while I hang in GSMNP working on my 900. Using some knots I learnt from old Shug. Always good content. Thanks Shug. Have a great hike!
Slug-Shug says Hey!
Been missing your videos. No one makes videos like you!
Inspiration for vids is back. Thankee. Needed a break from answeing queries.
i like this man he's charisma and good sense of humor :D nice to see this man up-to-date for the next adventures .
cheers and good luck mate yall
This man says Whoooooo Buddy)))))
nice one buddy :D
So sorry to see the end of an era. I'm glad that I will always have fond memories of the circus. Thank you Shug!
Yessir. My memories are revived....
You're the best Shoug ! Please don't stop making videos.
Thanks...I have put up 509 so far and still enjoying. One uploading right now.
Good timing - I'm headed to Sequoia next weekend (after a few years hiatus from camping) and packed just about everything, weeded out extra weight...this really helped me get it comfortable and balanced. Thank you Shug! This time with tent, next time with hammock (waiting for a Chameleon) for the first time - with alot of knowledge from YOU. Keep the camera rolling, love your ShugTubery.
Happy to hear the videos have some value. Enjoy the trip!
thanks for all your videos Shug--i just got back from a very wet hammock backpacking trip in the porcupine mountains, and employing several pointers I picked up from your channel helped keep me drier than my tenting buddies. great stuff!
The wet can be pretty fun. Glad to hear that.
I just got back today from spending a few days out in the woods, and what do I do? Watch of video about going out to the woods, of course! Great video as always Shug!
Hope the trip did you right.
Great to see You getting Back out in them Piney woods!!!
The Gorge Misses You Shug...
I sure always miss the gorge!
Excellent vid Shug. I'm going aquatic with this info, kayakpacking you might say. I've done of LOT of camping over the years, but you are teaching me how to pack-camp and I got here from my interest in hammocks. I'm just more cyclist/paddler than hiker. I made my bikes, next I'm making a boat.
Must secure this section of sector seven...whoooBuddy!
Glad to hear that.
Great video Shug. Nice seeing you again.
Thankee.
Thanks as I am still learning. I like the camp stool idea. I will get crap from my son about the weight but I am 71 now and it is harder finding a place to sit and get up again. He has gotten me into backpacking, this will be my third year. Next year looking to try hammock camping. More crap as he is a tent guy. Can't argue as he has 15 years and I have just two. Thanks Shug, really enjoy your videos. Bruce from the City of Orange in Orange county California.
Stool is a lifestyle choice.....th-cam.com/video/AuHHdWVOLD8/w-d-xo.html
i ALWAYS appreciate your humor and you sage advice ! thanks Shug!
Whoooooo Buddy))))
Thanks Shug! Your vids are always a big spoonful of inspiration with a second helping of getting out there! Have a great trip!
Mucho obligato.
so glad to have a video to watch this morning, I leave for Silver Bay in about ten minutes.
You better get going!
thought of you last night with the last circus show buddy. always great to see you Shug. Be well mate.
We watched the live stream. Bittersweet.
I will give you a wave accross the lake this week -doing Superior coastal trail Ontario side in 3 more sleeps
Have a right goodie. I'll be close.
Thanks for the videos! I just started watching your channel and being a tent guy I am getting quite an itch to try out a hammock. It looks so nice to have a place to hang and take in the world. Thanks again!
Whooooo Buddy))))
really enjoy watching your vedoes haven't seen you lately but I appreciate you for taking your time and hard work you put in your vedoes please keep up with your great work wish ya'll the very best until next time my friend
Thankee. Need a break from videos and all associated. Feel refreshed now and ready for the woods.
Great instructional video ,Shug ...THANKS good idea ,the space blanket
Glad you got something out of it.
Nice one Shug, good heads up there. "Toodle Pip Old Chap" and "Carry On Camping"
and mushy peas!
Thanks Shug Im always learning! Up until last year I put my food up top but started packing it in the middle on a long trip. Much better, practice makes perfect! Thanks again👍
Fun practice too.
Yesterday watching your vids, I thought I'd try to juggle some tennis balls. Nope to low kept dropping them. Nope to high One stuck in my Gutter....time to get my ladder out!!!! Really learning alot from you lately, also just refreshing my memory on it.....over 60 and retired now. Time for me to swing, go fishing, small hikes, maybe a 2-3 day'r out. Starting slow but gonna have fun !!!
I am 61 and still at it. Hope you do get out soon.
Awesome ! Without a doubt, the ULA Olm one of the most well thought out backpacks ever. I have used mine now for 5 years ,still loving it ! Have fun on your outing,Peace
Glad you love yours too.
Much appreciate your videos Shug.
Thankee.
I have an ULA OHM 2.0 and the two weaved design compression cords along the side of the pack provides compression. The cords can be used to store long and narrow objects such as trekking poles or a tripod. I’ve always thought these cords, if change to shock cords could serve a better purpose. I would love to hear how others use these “as manufactured” cords or modified cords do make use of the two side of the OHM.
I have left mine as is. Slip maps, poles and such there. Never lost anything so far.
Great stuff, Shug! Informative and entertaining as always. Greetings from Finland (Europe)!
Kittos!
Awesome sauce bro! I'm planning a small day trip out into the woods with a group that has never backpacked before so your videos really help explain everything for me! I can just sit back and let them watch your videos!
Happy to serve>>>>>
Boy have we missed you !!!!!!
I was a bit sick of myself!
shugemery Don't talk that way Mr. Shug sir! Don't want to ever hear ( read) those words ever again!!! You are what I aspire to be, seriously, you are a righteous dude and you are welcome to chill out here with me and the Mrs. anytime, all clear here in Sector Nine, aka San Diego
shugemery P.S. From my home on the hill , we will have a quite lovely view of the missiles raining in so you might want to bring some SPF 1 Million.
Thanks Shug! I have a ULA Olm also ,this video really helped me ,I'm going to try some of your suggestions. Nice to see you back always enjoy your vids!
Carry on and carry forth.
Thank you for the info I have a friend who turned me on to hammock camping. It's the best thing ever. Thank you Mr Tharp whoo buddy .Thank you Sir Shug.
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Shug reminds me of Robin Williams.
Haaaa!
Methinks it's the quickness of wit and his inclination to switch personas on-the-fly. But here we get to see Shug, the characters as well as Mr Emery-the guy, just sharing his well-earned knowledge and experience and inclinations as to what works best- in an entertaining format.
Quite the package! Thanks Shug- WB! (Whooo Buddy)
Grendle81 Used to live in the town where The World According to Garp was filmed.
I always thought Robin Williams kinda reminded me of Shug lol
Especially the Popeye movie
Awesome to see how you typically pack your gear.
I'm forever tinkering with my loadout, especially as and when I get new gear. I wear a small bag across my chest as a "balance bag" and to store things I'm likely to need quick access to - windcheater, warm hat, gloves, camera, *lunch* and so forth.
Sleeping bag, inflatable insulated mat and (when I get it) underquilt at the bottom of the pack, warm clothes (for around camp when the evening starts to cool down) and hammock above those, then food, possibly a warm jacket on top of that.
Cup, alcohol stove, fuel, toilet bag, cutlery, coffee and sugar go into the side pockets as they are all things I might conceivably need on the trail when I stop for a rest and also they're small things that can fit nicely in the side pockets.
Any other small stuff I'm likely to need quickly (compass, pocket knife etc) are in the pockets of my trousers or my vest.
The straps on the outside of the pack and the external mesh pocket are for suspension system, pegs and tarp.
I don't have pockets/pouches in the hip belt of my pack but I do wear a belt that has pouches for fire steel, torch (or "flashlight", if you prefer) and my USGI canteen and canteen mug (which serves as my cooking pot).
If I want to stop on the trail for lunch and have a coffee and a snack, I don't have to open the main compartment on the pack. If the weather turns cold and/or wet, I can get what I need without taking my pack off. When I get to camp, the first things I'm going to need will be tarp, pegs and suspension straps then I can dig the hammock and sleeping gear out of my pack.
The pack loadout stays mostly the same but does morph a bit over time. Whooooo Buddy))))
I was in New Zealand once performing on cruise ships the North end was amazing. I had very good fish and chips. Also the Milford Walk was stunning. I found the people in your country really nice, polite and funny.
@@shugemery Awesome! Glad you got a chance to sample our fine cuisine and finer bushland. With your sense of humour, I'm sure you were really well received here.
A mate of mine (magician/juggler/mime/fire-eater/clown) has often dreamed of performing on cruise ships, apparently it's a great way to see the world.
Thanks for this. At 50 I want to get into backpacking and this really helped!!!!
Never too late.
Informative and fun as always Shug! When I saw you in that helmet at the end I nearly pithed myself!
Love your videos Shug. Very entertaining and informative. You remind me of Jim Varney especially at the very end of this video. Keep up the great work.
I will actually take that as a compliment!~~~ haaaaa
@@shugemery as it was intended as a compliment, run with it. The Ernest movies were amongst my favorite comedy movies growing up.
Much appreciated video. Kicking around picking up one of the ULA packs. Can’t for the life of me settle on just one
Maybe this will help if you haven't seen it...th-cam.com/video/9L2Fbe1EviA/w-d-xo.html
I think the Circuit cover the middle ground.
@@shugemerymost definitely did went with the Ula Ultra Circuit after that video. Much appreciated
My first trip ever and going to the linville gorge🙄...thanks for the video Shug I learned from this and I'll keep practising 😉. We enjoy your videos.
What trail? Be ready...it is rough!
We are getting ready to start at Rock Jock and go south. I've never done it but we are going with some friends that know the terrain. I respect the mountains and I will be very careful. I saw that video of the guy that tumble down the mountain and the black hawk came...
Im definitely making a GoPro video. Thank you Shug for your videos ..we watch them all the time and enjoy them and learn from it. Take care and keep that awesomeness personality :)
Ah Shug, for us men of a certain age there is nothing better than a solid stool. By that I mean the thing we sit on while taking a break on the trail or at camp. Not that marvelous product of biology we are so often so proud of we want to share it with anyone who would dare look. I have the same basic, inexpensive aluminum one as you minus "Shug" blazed across the seat.
Nice to hear you mention external frame packs albeit briefly. I find that after three major back surgeries they not only distribute the load better but also force me to stand up straighter & ultimately cause less fatigue & pain in the long run.
As always, your videos are a kick in the pants in a good way & that pack of yours looks like it was taylor made for you. Safe & happy trails with the wind always at your back.
Thankee. Gave my external away. But I hear what you mean.
Hey Shug!
I have had many people recommend your channel and I can see why.
I am a MN boy and recently thru-hiked the AT. I will be attempting a FKT on the SHT this Summer. Would be great if I run into you during some of my pre-hikes. I will be doing the northern 52 miles of the Trail from Otter to Grand Marais. Maybe I'll see you out there sometime.
Thanks for making these informative and entertaining vids.
~Bigfoot
Congratulations on your thru.
I am often on the SHT...listen for the singin'
I think I'm gonna load up my backpack now just for fun. Chompin at the bit to get away. Well done good sir. Good to see it all spread out. The Maple King travels lighter.
Can't remember seeing the the British explorer. More of him! Ta Ta
Maple King carries ire and a tiny stick!
Those ULA packs sure are nice. I have one with zero miles in the closet and can't wait to use it. I missed out on a couple trips this winter so it may be a while before I get out with it. Here in Florida, our camping season is a little different from yours.
Informative and enjoyable as always - It is always a pleasure to get a new shugemery subscription notification.
Mucho obligato.
Excellent a very intuitive video, loads of tips. Thanks a Shug and welcome back
Always here. Just not always.
Hey Shug!. Big Hello from across the pond, mike here from Cornwall I’m the UK. Been mulling over the thought of getting a ULA OHM 2.0 for a while but was worried about how much it would hold and how well it would carry it comfortably and watched your videos and was persuaded by your reviews and thoughts and so glad I was. I love my ohm 2.0, can load it up with a winter setup and loads of fuel and water and carry even more then ula recommends and still be comfortable. Love you videos, keep up the awesome Work Shug!.
Cheers!. Mike.
I love hearing that Mike.
That was about the best magic show I’ve ever seen making everything disappear into that little bag! That’d would have even made Seigfried and Roy amazed. Where would you suggest putting ur mandolin if bringing along camping? You are a master of organization I’d say👍
I would never tote my mando as I just like the music of the woods. Had a guy want to bring his wood flute on a trip once. I canceled! haaaa
Hey Shug, good video! I agree with your thought processes, as you load up! Keep on Campig!
I enjoy your vids! A lot of similarities in our hiking/camping thoughts and processes. Finally someone who appreciates the delicacy that is "Deviled Spam!" 😎
Good eatin'
NC hammock lover here! I'm working my way up to the app trail! Hope to see ya out there!
Carry forth.
Super! Thank you. And thank you for the link to the Ringling Brothers video.
Y'elcome.
Hey Shug. I recently found your videos and absolutely love your personality! Was a former scout, and now a scout leader looking for backpacking info and your videos just crack me up! Anyhoo, I saw you had a website and that you are going to be in my fair city June 6th. Im hoping to bring my 6 and 10 year old boys to come check out your tomfoolery!
What fair city may that be?...Warroad! See you there.
shugemery correct!
You should look into a Helinox camping chair. Great videos Shug. Greetings from MN too.
I do have a very low to the ground one I took canoeing the Summer past. Since this video.
@@shugemery looked like a lot of stool. Wait that didn’t come out right.
Very useful tips! Thank you very much, Sean!
Video of your life story would be awesome!
Love your video by the way, thanks man!
Thanks feller.
Thanks for the loading video, Shug. It's almost as important to secure that stool as it is to have a stool at least once a day, especially at our age, hey buddy?!!! Looks like your pretty much set on load out for your trip. I know you'll have a great one. Thanks for keeping sector seven secure.
Whoooooo Buddy))))
Thanks for sharing! Always good to see ya!
Thankee.
Great channel thank you for the packing tips this is very handy for a new hiker like myself
Y'elcome and Whoooooo Buddy))))
Just a thought if the rubber caps on the stool legs are removable you could put that mosquito punk inside there to keep it from getting crushed and a little more out-of-the-way, great video as always, Whoo buddy!
Yessir. Hickery stashes stuff in his.
Thanks for the video. Glad your doing well, enjoy your trip.
Thankee.
I watch Shug's videos with my two sons (6 and 4), and my older son has deemed Shug, "the Master of Camping".
I prefer "He Who Camps A-Lot"
Out of the mouths of infants and babes. I've always referred to you as Mr. Shug.
And my son insists that you're the Master of Camping.
Thanks for sharing. Have a great hike.
Can't wait. Want a bit warmer and dryer though.
Shug is the best!! You should give the Porcupine Mountains a try someday. Being a true Yooper it's one of my favorite places to backpack.
What trail to you do?
Escarpment trail is the best.You have many options to make loops with 90 miles of trails. I'll be doing a solo 35 mile hike at the end of June starting at the Government Peak Trailhead. This will be a figure 8 loop. My personal favorite, but it's better with dryer weather. The trails can be a mess. Bob 'uptrail71"
Thanks Shug. My main question should I bag or should I stuff my quilts? To be answered soon. Have a great weekend. God Bless
I always put mine in a stuff sack. Works for me. Others differ.....
well Shug.. I was just in the linville gorge last week ... and my OHM was packed... "exactly the same, only different" ... (probably because I dont have red hair) the key is to backpack often enough to know what to leave at home! :-) thanks man!! Vas'
You got that right. Hope the Gorge missed me.
Well when I saw Cathedral falls for the first time... a
'Whoooo-Buddy' came out subconsciously!! So she heard your spirit!! :-)
Thanks for that.
Thanks. Always a pleasure.
Good to hear.
Hey Shug, I just got a ULA Ohm 2.0 and I like how you have your patches displayed. I was thinking of doing something similar. Did you stich them directly to the mesh or did you use velcro?
I hand sew them on. I bleed a lot.
Good video Shug! If I were makin' a long walk your pac out would be my choice! Lookin' for ya' in the woods! Thanks. ZZ.
Love that OHM!
Great video as always... Hey Shug, saw one of your patches on that pack... Any chance your gonna have any for sale soon. Im collecting all the you tubers patches that i watch... Thanks Shug can't wait for the camp out video... WHoooo buddy
Thanks. Not selling them. Only have a few.
Woohoo, glad to hear we're getting a new trip report soon! I live in St Paul near Oakland Cemetery and recently got my hands on a simple nylon hammock, but I have no trees in my yard. Can you recommend any hammock friendly parks in the area where I can practice hanging around?
I really don't go to any parks sinse I have trees in my back 40. Reckon just get out and go to any.
What can I say? Another gud'n from the man himself ... SHUGROW!
It needed to be done.
Thank U much . Enjoy your hike and take care.
Looking forward to a good walk and a deep slumber.
shug i don't want to bring up a soar subject, i just want to give my sympathy. today was the last show for the 'Greatest Show on Earth'. and i want to say i'm sorry!! i was able to see the show in Denver back in the late '70's, and i was not disappointing, it was the greatest show, i was mesmerized. all i can say is WOW!!! and to think that you were a part of it impresses' me to no end. the world will be a sorrier place without the best circus in the world. my hat is off to you sir.
Thank you. It is a huge part of our life.
Shug just wanted to say thank's for the videos! Also i'm itching to get out as well it's been far too long.
Yessir. Just back myself. Badly needed.
Cannot wait to hit the trail! If it ever stops raining.
True. Tired of cold and wet!
Probably the best opening scene in the showbusyness in this decade
I learned things! thank you for the pointers sir shug
Right good feller.
loved this video Shug. Thank you. I take way too much gear. Ya think I would have figured that out by now. LOL
Easy to do. But if it feels good...tote it.
Great video very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Great videos, thanks for all the information and fun. What video editing software do you use? i have none.
I use iMovie.
Great video Shug! New video idea... Would love to see how each of the major categories in that pack weigh out. Similar to you I'm striving for lightweight but won't ever be ultralight. I started out with heavier stuff, having 4 packgoats, but now building a lighter kit for when I travel alone. -SOTAgoats
I really never weigh it. I kinda know about. It is down to how much food and fuel and water for x number of days. Everything but food, fuel water is about 16 to 17 pounds. Carry weight for this load about 20 to 23 pounds.
That's helpful, thanks Shug!
Hey Mr. Shug! Just wanted to extend an open invitation to join our amateur hiking club (Fredericksburg Area Recreation Team) on any trail in Virginia and West Virginia. We are all fans and learned a lot from your videos.
Semper Fi,
Bricks
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Just got back from 6 days on isle royal. I went way to light and suffered being cold and wet. That north shore of superior ant no joke.
Finiky weather always. I remeber shivering in my ultra-light phase. It is essential to go through thugh. Hope the trip was great!
Another Quality Video from SHUG
I thankee.
good vid shug, you should do a vid on external frame packs...
I don't own one. Gave it away.
going to Colorado next week...this kinda helps!
Glad to hear and have a right goodie.
Where in colorado might you be heading, i used to live there so if you got questions i might be able to answer.
Chaucer Faux we're either going to eaglesmere or Bueno Vista period but probably Bueno Vista considering there's a lot of snow and eaglesmere right now
Be sure to pack for possible cold weather, colorado is very notorious for abrupt weather changes. also take bug spray cause them dang skeeters be vicious out there in the summer months.
Chaucer Faux bugs mean little to me. I live in Kentucky where you basically you bet them away with a baseball bat. I am bringing my winter gear and stuff like that thanks for the advice though
Great information.
Thanks for the video
Needed to get done.
Really good video! Thanks 4 sharing! Cheers; Marc
Y'elcome and thankee.
Great video shuggety shug! Do you know what that pack load weighs the way it sits there?
I really never weigh it. I kinda know about. It is down to how much food and fuel and water for x number of days. Everything but food, fuel water is about 16 to 17 pounds. Carry weight for this load about 20 to 23 pounds.
Like that Sandle idea...I wear 13's and don't like middle of toe flip flops. Making me a set because sandles were always to bulky.
They work OK. I tote them when I want to go light.
Shug you just look your best with a backpack on! Just saying 😗 Lots of helpful tips in this video...enjoy your trip brother
Feel best with a load on.
